The Flight of Freedom
The mountains with sheer faces of rock,
jutting out and up so high,
in the heat of a radiant sun above,
not a cloud to be seen,
but a clear blue sky.
The scenic expanse,
panoramic and so clear,
such beauty to admire and to shout,
the rebounding echo in the stillness of calm,
no one to hear.
Soaring high above the mountains in full majesty,
an eagle,
wings outspread,gliding,
so gently and a sight so regal.
Not a sound does this great bird make
in dominance of the air
space,
with such power,
yet with such magnificence and grace.
